Letting the mind wander is crucial to creativity – and taking a break from screens is one of the best things you can do for your health and wellbeing, not to mention your ability to focus and work efficiently. Sculpted by hand in Portland, Ore., this desktop Zen garden encourages play, mindfulness and a break from nerve-jangling alerts and notifications. Use your hands to spin and twist the sculpted spheres through the sand to create captivating patterns and shapes. Come back to your tasks and to-dos refreshed.
To use: Fill sand to the height of the lower lip, but no higher. Swirl and softly shake the tray to smooth out the sand and create an even surface. Play gently – this isn’t Bocci ball! Avoid knocking the spheres into each other – scraping or dropping them can chip and degrade their surfaces.

Marie’s philosophy of tidying goes beyond the tangible: What we can’t see still affects us – including the air we breathe. Eliminate odors that don’t spark joy – and remove stale air from your home – with this set of eight all-natural bamboo charcoal packets. Made from moso bamboo – a rapidly growing variety – bamboo charcoal is naturally porous, enabling it to absorb moisture and eliminate odors (instead of just masking them).
To use, place these packets in your drawers – or straight in your shoes – to keep clothes and items fresh. Place packets outside in direct sunlight once a month – two to three hours per side – for best results. After one year, cut open the packets and mix charcoal granules into soil to increase its ability to retain water and nutrients.
